Abstract

The present invention provides a fixing apparatus comprising a pair of fixing members at least one of which is rotatable, a nip being formed between the fixing members and a recording material which carries a non-fixed toner being conveyed through the nip and heated at the nip to fix the non-fixed toner onto the recording material. The apparatus can have a cleaning mode for cleaning the fixing member, in which the recording material is pinched by the nip, and the sheet is conveyed by repeating rotation and stoppage of the rotatable fixing member.
